Overview

Turkish Paper Marbling is an important part of our culture as it has been used for designs through the history. Due to it's uniquness, it is also listed as one of the Unesco World Cultural Heritages.

We are pretty sure that there are great Marbling workshops in Istanbul. What makes us different is bringing this unique experience together with Turkish home hospitality.

Having the experience held at a calm central home with warm vibes would let the connection between the instructor and the guests to be a real bond. As Turks, we take hospitality seriously, that's why we like to make people feel at home. Isn't it also a great way to bring your inner creativity when you feel more peaceful?

That's how this experience would be. Just like learning and creating at a friend's home that you feel like having known since a long time.

    What To Expect

    Firstly, you will be welcomed to a home in central Istanbul, Beşiktaş. After warming up with Ahmet, our dear Marbling instructor, you will be given some historical and cultural information about this Turkish Art, Paper Marbling.

    Although the art is called with different names such as; water marbling, marbling art, water marbling paint, turkish marbling, Turkish paper marbling; in Turkish, we simply call it Ebru.

    After some information about the art and some insider access to Turkish home hospitality (big part of Turkish culture), you will start learning this traditional Turkish art with different technics that are used.

    Having learned how to bring your creativity to visuality through Turkish/Ottoman paper marbling would be one of the most unique experiences you can have in Turkey, considering the fact that you will also be experiencing Turkish home hospitality.

    You will leave this experience with a feeling of fulfillment and connection. Both with the art itself and the local friends you created bonds with.

    So, come, be our guests to learn, create and connect together.
